    Netflix and the producers are definitely manipulative and abusive. They take advantage of people. I’m disgusted with how contestants are constantly plied with alcohol. As a viewer I kept thinking how irresponsible Netflix and the producers were for encouraging everyone to drink and drink and drink some more. It’s down right abusive. Netflix and the producers should be held accountable. If my workplace acted the same way, they would have to answer for it.

    I have no doubt Netflix is abusive, but we all know Nick from the show…… sue them, move on, and take care of yourself.

    He needs to sell that house, before he gets foreclosed on. Then maybe move to a cheaper region of the U.S. That's what everyone in the country is doing. Everyone has become displaced by the nonsense. It's not just show business folk, it's the whole country not being able to keep up with inflation, horrible employers, trash corporations, and natural disasters causing big issues for millions. I'm glad he's talking about it bc it's real, but hopefully he finds an option for survival. Thriving is hard to do, if you're in survival mode.

    This is an issue for folks who haven't been on a show for entertainment purposes as well. The job market is trash. The more education, skills, and experience you have, the harder it is. Especially so in corporate and nonprofit sectors. Many employers post jobs and aren't actually hiring or they're only hiring from the inside. I've read many discussion boards of people who have gone 6 months to well over a year trying to find a job. Some just decided to give up. You're spending all day putting in hundreds if not thousands of submissions which barely results in any interviews, certainly no offers. And constantly getting those rejection emails are so psychologically damaging. This is the reason why people just opt to take on the very tough challenge of embarking upon entrepreneurship. There are people who are at an executive level making an attempt to find work because they're desperate, and being rejected for entry level jobs. No one wants to settle but people are trying and the problem is not with effort. The problem is the job market.

      @@taniacarrera7406 It really is truly challenging. The market is oversaturated and a lot of employers are playing games with people's time and effort. I take breaks from it and then go back to it when I'm up for it. I'm at a point where I really don't even want to continue the search but I know I have to bring in income somehow.
      Here's to a blessing for us all. Godspeed. ❤

      this comment is incredibly tone deaf. the fact I have to comment on its illogic is exacerbating. accepting a job offer you are overqualified for will affect your future job prospects in a job you are qualified for.
